The Costume Institute is hosting its first two-part exhibition, which is on the theme of American fashion. The first part, held on September 18, 2021, was on the theme, "In America: A Lexicon of Fashion."

The upcoming Met Gala on May 2, 2022, is part two and predicated on the theme, "In America: Anthology of Fashion." The event opens on May 5, 2022 in the period rooms of the American Wing.

However, a collection on a similar theme has been released by the Museum on their official e-commerce site. It has also featured prominently on their official Instagram handle, @metmuseum, ever since last September's event.
